Tips to manage stress

Factors in our environment trigger a
stress response. These triggers are
called “stressors,” and can take many different forms, such as:

an upcoming exam

a wedding

a car accident

a relationship problem

being stuck in traffic

falling in love

problems at work

Stressors are not necessarily negative.
Winning the lottery or falling in love can just be as stressful as a
bad grade or an injury. Moreover, people differ in the amount of
stress they experience. A situation that is stressful for one person
might not be stressful for another. For example, a rollercoaster ride
or parachuting may be very stressful for you, while a friend may find
it exciting.
